生活禪
佛光星雲 ( 1927~)

一、禪修的思想：在於平常、平實、平衡的意境涵養，
    但盡凡心，別無聖解。
二、禪修的內涵：在於信心、道心、悲心的長養增進，
    不變隨緣，慈悲喜捨。
三、禪修的生活：在於規律、簡樸、惜福的用心實踐，
    依戒生活，知足澹泊。
四、禪修的精神：在於承擔、無畏、精進的落實行履，
    自心是佛，直下承擔。
五、禪修的運用：在於生活、生趣、生機的權變妙用，
    觸處皆道，機趣無限。

The Daily Practice of Chan
Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - , Fo Guang Shan)
English translation: Zhi Yue

1. The Philosophy of Chan:
    To have an indiscriminating and ordinary mind that is
    cultivated in the routine of daily life.

2. The Essence of Chan:
    A mind of faith, practice, and compassion that is always
    striving for the better. It is unchanging, yet adapts to circumstances;
    it is compassion, kindness, joy, and equanimity.

3. The Daily Practice of Chan:
    Diligently practice with discipline, and live with simplicity and
    gratitude. Abide by the precepts and be content.

4. The Spirit of Chan:
    Assume responsibilities, have no fear, and be diligent. Carry
    out duties with faith in one’s own Buddha nature.

5. The Application of Chan:
    To skillfully apply it in a lively, interesting and vigorous way,
    so that everything in life is the Way, full of taste.
